The Hearth at Maple Cove

She came back to Maple Cove to rebuild her life. She never expected to find love waiting for her there. Lori Grace thought the hardest part of starting over was behind her. Her marriage is over. Her old life is behind her. And now, after her grandmother's death leaves her Grace's Table, Lori finds herself back in the small North Carolina town where she spent her childhood summers. The plan seems simple: reopen her grandmother's beloved diner, honor the woman who raised her, and figure out what comes next. Then there's Micah Elliott. Steady. Kind. Familiar. The kind of man who notices when Lori is carrying more than she lets anyone see-and quietly helps her carry it. As Grace's Table comes back to life, so does Lori. The people of Maple Cove pull her into their traditions, their celebrations, meals, and their everyday lives. Slowly, the woman who thought she was simply coming home to run a diner begins to wonder if she has been given something much bigger: a second chance at belonging, at love, and at the life she thought she had lost. But starting over requires more than rebuilding a business. It requires Lori to decide whether she is willing to open her heart again-and trust God with what comes next. The Hearth at Maple Cove is a cozy Christian romance filled with small-town warmth, faith, friendship, healing, clean romance, and second chances. Come for the coffee. Stay for the story. And discover why sometimes, the place you thought you were only passing through is the place God uses to bring you home.
